Conclusions were collected and edited today. For the next 2 days, (Thurs. and Fri.) we will be spending at least 30 minutes each day working on our final drafts of our persuasive essays..finally. They will be due, without exception, on Monday, Dec 12th.
For those students that are choosing type their paper (thank you), here are the requirements as discussed in class:
Use standard margins (.75-1 inch). Your word program should already default to these.
Use a normal font such as Times, Geneva, Helvetica, Arial, Century, etc. Basically, ones that you see on a consistent basis in books.
Use a size from 12-18.
Print in black
Only use one side of the paper
Do not use ALL CAPS or bold.
If you want to adjust your spacing, 1.5 is nice.
